This October, beloved folk musician Joanna Newsom will release Divers, her first studio album since 2010âs Have One On Me. Accompanying the news, Newsom has also put out a new videoâdirected by Paul Thomas Andersonâfor the song âSapokanikanâ which features her walking and singing through New York City.
Longtime fans will be happy to know that Newsomâs signature trillâpart Appalachian balladeer, part renaissance troubadour, and part fairy queenâremains intact and that, like Newsomâs musical style, Paul Thomas Andersonâs âSapokanikanâ video ignores flash and distractions, instead focusing on Newsom and her raw talent.
As Drag City, Newsomâs record label, announced on their website:
â...further along and down the road apiece from where she took her leave of us, Joanna Newsom plays on. Breathe deep and equalize your today-ears to the new world of Divers...â
Divers comes out October 23, 2015.
